My 3 inch Synodontis Eupterus he's living with i think feels like he doesn't have a good enough hiding spot so he's out and about more than usual. Should i be concerned? I also have a couple 1 inch ghost shrimp in the tank for extra scavenger duties.....how long do you think they will last with my new 4 inch poly in there? Just kinda wondering, wasn't sure if they liked ghost shrimp or not lol Thanks!
 
The shrimps will be gone by tomorrow night.

How many hide spots do you have? If you only have one, and the new bichir made itself at home, the cat could just be nervous.
 
I actually have 2 lol so maybe he just isn't used to having a new friend yet lol I kinda figure the shrimp would be gone.....the poly sen was just put in today so i wasn't sure how long they take before they are comfortable with eating. My syno ate the day of aclimation.
 
i just got back from my lfs and saw one too but i think i am going catless in my tank.
picked up 2 pbass to replace the one that got ate last thursday lol. this time i put them in my 10 gallon and they will stay there till i get my 55 up and running and then it's grow out time.
 
When i went to pick the poly up i saw 2 pbass and thought about ya for a sec vaine111 lol They were 1 1/2 inches and were being sold for $17....Almost got em but i wasn't sure if my poly would have like them for a snack or not lol
 
well thanks for thinking about me lol atleast someone does... they had a 12 inch and a 8 inch mono pbass $75 and $150... too bad i took down my 65 hex lastnight. i woulda got the 8 and kept him in there till my little ones grew bigger.

Im guessing the shrimp are gone?

The shrimp are still there, just hiding in the plants....my bichir is slowly moving along the bottom so i'm guessing he's just getting used to everything.
